Love Never Fails - Happy Valentines

It's known as the "love passage" but there's some profound points of 1st Corinthians to recall & remember... love is not proud, self-seeking or easily angered; it keeps NO records of wrongs, LOVE does not delight in evil!! It ALWAYS protects, ALWAYS trusts, ALWAYS hopes and ALWAYS perseveres--- love truly conquers all and ultimately love NEVER FAILS! ....

Yes some of the words are left out (above in the passage) but bottom line; LOVE is the greatest evidence we're connected to the heart of Jesus; and even if we can do great things, when we don't live and operate in "loving" others then it's pointless....

Take a moment to slow down. Just think: there are people around the globe so void of love or feeling loved that it's crushing! Victims of abuse and sex-trafficking, people of the slums, the family member ex-communicated because of their "issues," the heartless man or woman was once a victim too... Perhaps if we changed our stance on days like today to be about loving others WELL, a lot more people would actually "feel" loved!!!!! Perhaps we can be the light someone needs to make them feel seen?! Perhaps you can be the voice or the one phone call they need to not feel all alone. Perhaps it's the smile and the "thanks for serving" to the gas attendant or the barista who's trying to earn their keeping. It says "they will know me by your love" ....so when you put that in perspective; suddenly today shifts and hope bubbles! Love NEVER Fails! ;)HappH

If you're over the age of 26 most of you have probably seen "When Harry Met Sally", a popular 80s movie about friends becoming lovers, then back to friends, then ultimately ending up together. The funny part about the movie is the commentators and camera "confessionals" where Harry and Sally talk about how they can, or CANT, have friends of the opposite sex because sex always gets in the way.

Well, in some subcultures, esp once married, its almost as if having opposite-sex friendships is taboo. This makes me sad. Thankfully I have friends ok with going against the religious cultural 'norm', but then again, I have always been a rebel. I'd like to think Jesus was a rebel too. Afterall, didn't he hang out with prostitutes? And his guy friends weren't exactly class president. So while I may appear a bit "rebel-ish" I don't want you to mistake this for being ok with going against values and standards…

"May you feel the warmth of His light today. May you know He is near even if it doesn't feel like it. May he heal your broken places. Draw you in closer. Show you that he is a God of faithfulness. He can redeem anything. Restore dreams. And bring joy! He loves calling you His beloved, He's fond of you, and He desires to give good gifts to the ones he loves because he's a good good father. He has not forgotten. He's still at work. And he can do immeasurably more than you can ask think or imagine...{Wendy Henkelman}

In a book Im reading called "The Healing Path" by Dan Allender, he writes: Life is captivity littered with the disappointment and partially satisfied yearning: captivity to a body that does not work as we wish; captivity to a heart that longs for freedom to truly love, to worship from the depths of our being and does not; captivity to the particulars of our culture, race, socioeconomic history, and era, when we would rather be radical, world-conscious Christians...But in every arena of life, I LONG to burst free of the constraints of my flesh, soul, and world…"
He continues to write, knowing it is not us or ourselves individually who can actually burst free from the constraints of our flesh, soul, or world. It actually takes an act of God and his power giving us the ability to break free from a life that so easily entangles, and with a hope of tomorrow, its by HIM that we are able to move forward - with HIS help. Each and every step of the way. "To the degree I kn…
